Chapter 757: The Unknown Root
The pig on that side was not polite to Ji Yuan at all, the sentence "Otherwise I will eat it all myself" does not seem to be a joke, Ji Yuan left for a while, and then went back to find that the fish meat was obviously less, and on the face of the man, the mouth of the pig on the picture scroll was constantly wriggling, and the hand that was transformed used chopsticks to clip a large piece of fish meat and stuffed it into the painting.
"Not bad, yes, smell and eat more fragrant, Ji Yuan's cooking skills are also a great supernatural power, a fish turned into the essence of water in your hands, it is a pity that this magic power can't accept people, but it's also good, very good......! Woohoo......"
The pig was full of praise, freely controlling the conjured hand to keep sandwiching the fish, tasting the taste in his mouth and then chewing quickly before swallowing, constantly repeating words like "delicious, delicious".
Ji Yuan smiled and said secretly in his heart: "Who said that this magic power of cooking can't accept people?"
"It's okay to think it's delicious, Ji Mou is still afraid that this craft will not be on the table and will be disliked by you, but your actions should also be softened, and you must have a food appearance......"
"Hahahaha...... I don't care what he eats and sits on, and you are also bound by these rules and regulations, which are so many rules. ”
The more Ji Yuan said, the more diligent the chopsticks became, often two or three large pieces of fish meat into the mouth before they began to chew quickly, and the chopsticks have been stretched out into the basin.
Ji Yuan saw that this situation was wrong, and also sped up his speed, although he looked at Sven, but the speed of the chopsticks was not slow at all, this was practiced, although today is mainly to invite the pig to eat fish, but Ji Yuan did not plan to eat less.
It's just that Ji Yuan's attention is always three points on the Confucian scholars and others who are looking at the wealth over there, so they can't play their full strength.
"It's delicious, I'll try this fish soup again!"
The pig chewed the fish in its mouth, reached out and opened the large sand box that was still covered on one side, and as soon as the lid was lifted, it was as if some seal had been opened, and a rich fragrance gushed out, as if with an illusion-like shimmer of light permeating the sand box.
"Wonderful! It turns out that the real essence is in this pot of fish soup!"
The pig couldn't wait to pick up the bowl, filled the bowl with a soup spoon, and used his chopsticks to pinch the shark fin and a large piece of meat attached to it, as well as the live meat on the cheek of one of the fish's heads.
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the pig.
"You guy, you've been asleep for so long, but you're pretty good at eating!"
"Hey, hey, I've won a prize!"
The pig replied, and drank a large mouthful of soup, and on the picture scroll on the face, a faint red light actually rose from the divine beast in the painting, and the divine beast's face showed a trace of intoxication.
"It's one of the best things I've ever had, it's pretty good...... If you are trapped here only for the sake of today, it seems that there is something worth it!"
Ji Yuan grinned, and also said "pass the prize", and then added.
"I only have these two fish, and it's useless for you to flatter me. ”
"Hahahahaha......"
He was very satisfied with the taste of the fish soup, but he was even more pleased with Ji Yuan's attitude towards him, if it was someone else, who would dare to say that he was a flatterer?
"I said Ji Yuan, just two fish that have been condensed by water essence, you have turned decay into magic, in the future we will catch something more amazing, I will do it, you will cook, wouldn't it be happy?"
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the picture scroll of the pig, and subconsciously asked.
"What's more remarkable?"
The pig on the scroll seems to be approaching the frame, and a majestic beast face is pasted on the paper.
"For example, the eggs of the Luan bird, the tendons of the dragon, the tongue of the hooves of the mountain paste, the legs of the deer, the meat of the armadillo......"
Even if it is Ji Yuan now, he can't help but sweat violently when he hears this, if it weren't for the concentration of Qijia and the control of his body and soul, he would have stayed in a cold sweat.
"Forget these things, and I am close friends with Mr. Ying, how can I eat the dragon tendons? And I have a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", which is given by the phoenix bird, how to take the eggs?"
The pig looked at Ji Yuan very seriously and nodded.
"It makes sense, then the dragon and phoenix will not be considered!"
Ji Yuan could only shake his head and smile, but when he looked down, a considerable part of the fish meat was visible to the naked eye, and the feelings of the pig kept talking, and the speed of eating meat did not decrease.
On the other side, except for a few guards who were cleaning up the already clean stove and were also busy taking food and dishes from the carriage to prepare for cooking, the others, including the Confucian scholar and several other dependents, were all attracted by the smell of fish on Ji Yuan and the pig, and many people swallowed their saliva frequently.
And the pig didn't cover his mouth, and some words in his mouth also reached the ears of others, what kind of water essence and the like were completely unintelligible, but it was really a little scary to eat the dragon and the phoenix, and the big pot of fish meat was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Ji Yuan and the pig sitting at the table didn't even have a bulging stomach, which was also very terrifying.
"Sir...... These two people, if they are not masters, may be different...... Do you want to pull it out right away?"
The leader of the guard had a bad temper with Ji Yuan and the pig before, but now of course he has come back to his senses, the two people in front of him are obviously very strange, and their movements do not look like warriors at all, in this place of the Southern Wasteland, although there are demons and monsters every day, but normal people still know some of them, and there are some ways to avoid them, the most common is to pretend not to know how to stay away.
The Confucian scholar was still holding a cup of tea sent by Ji Yuan in his hand, the tea was still warm, it was the right time to drink, he waved his hand to signal the guards to be restless, he was worried in his heart before, and he didn't want to leave directly when he saw these two people.
"I think those two gentlemen must be masters, and I will ask for advice in a moment, and by the way, go and fetch the good wine we have prepared, and then take care of the venison we hunted yesterday, and invite them to taste it. ”
"Yes!"
The leader of the guard can only take orders, and then continue to be careful about Ji Yuan and the pig, even if the two in front of him may be masters, but it is more likely to encounter villains.
"By the way, sir, you wait a minute. ”
The guard walked briskly in the direction of the carriage, and after a while came back with something covered in cloth, placed it on the ground on one side of the ground hidden by tables and people, and lifted the cloth cover, and inside was a birdcage with two canaries in it.
The guard quickly reached out from the cage door, grabbed a canary, and then lit the tea in the teacup in the Confucian man's hand with a silver needle, and put it on the canary's beak.
When feeding the canary and tasting tea here, Ji Yuan and the piggger both noticed it, but they just looked sideways.
The canary itself is a highly spiritual bird, especially sensitive to breath, and can be used to distinguish filth and poison, especially these two, which have been specially trained by mages, and the way they can distinguish is very simple, that is, to test the poison.
After waiting for a while, the canary that was put back into the cage was unusual, and even felt that its eyes were bright and cheerful.
"Master, this tea should be fine. ”
The Confucian scholar waited for this sentence, and after listening to it, he blew the tea noodles lightly, and then took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he drank the tea directly.
"Good tea......"
After drinking tea, the Confucian scholar was almost sure that he had met a master, maybe this master was waiting for him here, before a mage said that it is difficult to find a real master, and there are eight or nine out of ten people who can see in the market are not enough, and a considerable number of them are specialized in cheating.
The Confucian had a strong intuition in his heart, stood up directly, and walked quickly to the table of Ji Yuan and the Badger, bowed and bowed.
"In Xia Liping, he used to be the county guard of Yangshan, and now he is resigned from the official position, and he is in distress for many years, and he has to meet two masters today, and I hope that the two masters will give me advice!"
Ji Yuan turned his head to see that the Confucian had not yet spoken, but the pig sneered first.
"You have never been a big official, so you need to tell us?"
This sentence made the Confucian scholar slightly stunned, and then a little embarrassed, but Ji Yuan relieved him of the siege, grabbed the chopsticks and sat on the stool and returned the salute casually.
"Sir, don't be polite, get up quickly, what's the matter with you, wait until we finish eating the fish, and don't be in a hurry at this time. ”
"Yes, the world is the biggest!"
The pig agreed, but he didn't stop talking or handing it.
"Yes!"
The Confucian retreated and sat down at the table closer to him, waiting, and only waved his hand when a guard came over.
Ji Yuan ate for a while, his movements eased a little, and after drinking two more bowls, he put down his chopsticks, and let the pig solve it alone, and he got up and came to the Confucian scholar, waiting for him to get up and salute in a hurry.
"Is it okay for Ji to sit here?"
"Sir, please feel free!"
"Well, tell me, what's going on?"
Ji Yuan sat down at the table, stretched out his hand to the side, and the teacup and teapot placed on the edge of the fish basin slowly flew over by itself.
The Confucian scholar retracted slightly, and hurriedly spoke.
"Sir, my Li family has been passed down for several generations, and in my generation, I have not given birth to an heir, a wife and three concubines have been pregnant several times, but they have frequently miscarried, and the family has invited many masters, done many rituals, and there have been immortals who can call the wind and rain to come, all say that my family is deeply blessed, there is no big problem, and I can't say the root of having no children and no daughters......"
Ji Yuan frowned slightly.
"I look at your qi appearance, and now there should be a descendant qi. ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. is right, now the wife at home is indeed pregnant, but this pregnancy is ...... Others are pregnant for ten months, but my wife has been pregnant for almost three years, and I haven't seen the baby born......"
The sense of uneasiness before Ji Yuan suddenly became much stronger, and I don't need to pinch to know that this fetus is probably very ominous.
